A new continuous policy-value iteration algorithm has been developed for stochastic control problems, aiming to simultaneously update the value function and identify the optimal control. This method utilizes Langevin-type dynamics and can be applied to both entropy-regularized and classical control problems with infinite horizons. The algorithm's convergence to the optimal control is established under a monotonicity condition of the Hamiltonian, enabling the use of distribution sampling and non-convex learning techniques from machine learning.
